agents that are harmful to plants Explanation: It would be far-fetched to name such agents tortfeasors or wrongdoers, so I would believe that a rewriting exercise is the thing in this context. |

pests Explanation: The only Google hits I could get for the corresponding Swedish word (plantskadegörare) were on the homepage of The Swedish Institute of Entomology, so I guess the Norwegian word refers to pests too. If you want to include diseases, you say "(plant) diseases and pests" Reference: http://www.entom.slu.se/snytbagge/hylastes.htm |
